St. George\u2019s striker Salhadin Said has set his sights on retaining the golden boot award at this year\u2019s Cecafa Kagame Cup.<\/p>\n
Said emerged top scorer with seven goals in Rwanda last year where the Ethiopian side lost to the finals to APR of Rwanda.<\/p>\n
This year, Salhadin has put himself in prime position to bag the award again yet another prize as he hit five goals past Ports of Djibouti in Group C where they finished as the group leaders with seven points.<\/p>\n
Salhadin told SuperSport.com, \u201cI thank God for his guidance as I was happy to have got five goals in one match. I want to repeat last year\u2019s feat and maybe even better so that I can get the golden boot once again. I want to thank my team mates for making the job easier for me since without them i could not have scored the goals.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cThis year\u2019s tournament is very competitive and this gives you a chance to shine even more. I feel I have hit my peak form and i only want to achieve what many have not done in terms of helping my team to this year\u2019s title and being the best,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n
Salhadin Said scored both goals for Ethiopia in a 2-2 draw against the Super Eagles in a Group B African Cup of Nations qualifying match played in Addis Ababa recently.<\/p>\n
The player has also featured for Serbian giants Partizan Belgrade. St. George will meet Vital O of Burundi in the quarter finals of the ongoing Cecafa Kagame cup.<\/p>\n
